Big Ultrasound

Yesterday morning we had our "big" ultrasound. With The Boy we didn't want to find out the sex, so it wasn't as exciting to go. It was, of course, awesome to see him on the "big screen", but it got pretty boring after awhile. This time we planned on finding out the sex of the baby, so I had been anxious for weeks beforehand.

I was completely convinced that we were having another boy. I didn't have much morning sickness and I just had that gut instinct. My gut instinct was very wrong! We are having a little girl! It took some extra work and time to actually find this out. I had to drink some Coke and eat some Smarties and then walk around for a few minutes. Thankfully Baby Girl uncrossed her legs and we were able to see that hamburger!

I am still in shock but I am so excited. I honestly saw myself as a mother to a bunch of boys and really liked that idea. I don't know what I'm going to do with a girl and the idea of changing a girl diaper freaks me out. I know it will all come naturally when she is here, but for now I'm a bit nervous.

The Boy is going to be a wonderful big brother. He is a very sweet, sensitive, and affectionate boy and I hope that having a boy and a girl so close in age will be a good thing. I was kinda hoping for a boy so they could be best friends, but I am in between brothers and have always been close with them.

I'm almost halfway done cooking Baby Girl. It seems like such a long time yet, but I know it's going to fly by and I won't be ready!
